Chart Of The Day: Stride – Big Breakout!

Nov 06, 2023Jeremy ParkinsonFinance0

The Chart of the Day belongs to the technology-based education and training company Stride (LRN). I found the stock by using Barchart’s powerful screening functions to find stocks with the highest technical buy signals, highest Weighted Alpha, superior current momentum and having a Trend Seeker buy signal then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Seeker signaled a buy on 10/26 the stock gained 4.94%.
